Fodorflex Reaching for the Shutter (26)
Fodorflex (aka Beautyflex D).
Japanese 6x6 TLR. Produced around 1955.
Ok, the Spring is re-attached and the Release Arm back in its normal position. But...
.... now the Spring has so much force again that it creeps under the topmost step of the screw.
When you fasten the screw the Release Arm cannot move properly in that way.
So i used 2 wooden toothpicks to keep the Spring centered on the topmost step of the screw.
Then carefully fastened the screw further while gently retracting the toothpicks.
That did the job :-)
